Oil In Coolant

Ok, I have some Oil in the coolant of my car, a '97 Z. I'm not sure if the coolant is in the oil yet, if there is it's not enough to be able to look at it and see it. So my question is, do any of you know where I can get a oil anaylis done? Autozone used to do it but no longer do.

Any ideas where this could be comming from? I have a small oil leak on the backside of the intake manifold, is it possible to have the two fluids meet back there somehow?


Thanks guys,

Tony

Unfortunately you more than likely have a head gasket going out. If I were you I'd be pulling the heads and going for a gasket change at the very minimum. Maybe time for a few mods you were waiting on at the same time.

Sorry bro, sounds like you have a blown head gasket.
